WITH
so many different
translations of
the Bible today,
you may have asked
yourself these questions.
Which translation
is right for me?
Does it really matter?
Well, we hope you
will be able to
answer these questions
by reading the following
pages. Let us keep
in mind this important
text from Revelation.
"And if any man
shall take away
from the words of
the book of this
prophecy, God shall
take away his part
out of the book
of life, and out
of the holy city,
and from the things
which are written
in this book." Revelation
22:19. John is speaking
here of the book
of Revelation, though
the same would apply
to any book of the
Sacred Canon. That
is quite a solemn
promise that God
has made, to have
your name removed
from the Book of
Life. In His infinite
wisdom, God knew
that as time would
pass, man would
remove key passages
or words from the
Bible.

The problem with
"modernizing" or
"changing" the Word
of God is that it
takes away from
the original meaning
what the Bible writers
were trying to convey.
Always remember
this: "For the prophecy
came not in old
time by the will
of man: but holy
men of God spake
as they were moved
by the Holy Ghost."
II Peter 1:21.

Below you will find
200 key references
that show how all
modern Bibles differ
from the King James
Version, and the
Greek Textus Receptus
from which it was
translated. You
be the judge.

*It must be noted
that although the
New King James Version
has only 2 omissions
from the N.T., we
also found the
NKJV removes the
word "Lord" 66
times, the word
"God" 51 times,
and the word
"heaven" 50
times. The NKJV
also makes over
100,000 word
changes, and
most will match
the NIV, NASV,
and RSV! In the
NT alone it also
removes 2,289
words from the
KJV.
It also has 145 "significant
textual variants"
listed in the center-column
reference section
of each page. These
textual variants
are from the modern
eclectic or "critical"
text which depends
heavily upon the
Alexandrian type
of text. Be careful
of these references!
